NXP and Auto-ISAC work together to address the security challenges of connected cars

Eindhoven, The Netherlands – February 24, 2017 (Global News) – The world's largest semiconductor industry semiconductor supplier and leader in automotive network security NXP Semiconductors NSF Semiconductors (NASDAQ: NXPI) today announced that the company A collaboration has been reached with the Automotive Information Sharing and Analysis Center (Auto-ISAC).

Auto-ISAC was founded by automakers to build a secure, worry-free platform for sharing, tracking and analysing cyber attacks and potential threats around connected cars. Auto-ISAC operates as a central hub where members can submit and receive information anonymously, helping them respond more effectively to cyber threats in real time.

The automotive industry has realized that the autonomous driving ecosystem, including wireless technologies that support communications, telematics, digital broadcast reception, and ADAS systems, poses a potential threat of hacking.

Best Practices and Auto-ISAC

NXP worked with Auto-ISAC to help develop the best cybersecurity practices for the automotive industry. Auto-ISAC publishes the "Car Network Security Best Practices Summary", which outlines the Auto-ISAC development information guide, covering the organizational and technical aspects of vehicle network security, including governance, risk management, security through design, threat detection, and Event response. ISAC implements training and facilitates collaboration with third parties. In the United States, 98% of vehicles on the road are produced by Auto-ISAC member companies.

868MHZ Antenna

The utility model presented herein introduces an innovative PCB antenna specifically designed for the 868MHz frequency band, catering to the needs of various communication systems operating within this range. This sophisticated design encapsulates a PCB substrate, upon which are meticulously arranged key components that synergize to enhance antenna performance and efficiency.

At the heart of this antenna lies a first PCB antenna, intricately etched or deposited onto the PCB substrate. This primary antenna serves as the foundation for receiving and transmitting radio signals within the 868MHz band. To complement its functionality, a ground plane is incorporated, providing a stable reference point for the antenna's operation and minimizing interference.

Innovatively, an L-shaped second PCB antenna is strategically positioned between the first PCB antenna and the ground plane. This unique configuration not only adds to the antenna's structural complexity but also significantly enhances its performance characteristics. The end portion of this L-shaped antenna features a precisely located feed point, which serves as the interface for coupling the antenna to the transmission line or circuitry, ensuring efficient energy transfer.

Furthermore, the ground surface of the PCB substrate is thoughtfully designed with a ground wire that extends from the outer edge of the substrate to its surface. This ground wire facilitates the establishment of a low-impedance path for return currents, further minimizing signal loss and enhancing overall antenna efficiency. Notably, the core wire of this ground wire and the feed point undergo a tinning process, a technique that enhances their conductivity and durability, thereby optimizing signal transmission and reception.

The cumulative effect of these design elements results in a PCB antenna that not only improves efficiency but also optimizes performance across various parameters such as gain, bandwidth, and radiation pattern. This innovative design is particularly suited for applications requiring reliable and efficient communication within the 868MHz frequency band, including IoT devices, smart metering systems, and various other wireless communication networks.

In summary, the disclosed utility model represents a significant advancement in PCB antenna technology, offering a compact, efficient, and high-performance solution tailored for the 868MHz frequency band. Its innovative design and attention to detail make it an ideal choice for a wide range of communication systems, ensuring reliable and seamless connectivity in today's increasingly interconnected world.
